every direction and from long dis
tances.
Now, as you got me into job oi

answer very well by mail without toe
much time, 1 will have to beg your
papers assistance in answering them
/. Is the item that appeared IN

substantially.
2. Is il cumbersome? No.
3. Is il quickly attached? Yes.
4. How far away from the power

each saw? About the same, or a
little more than the saw.

Give Them a Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous-
ands OF little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do theiI
work. And what they do, they can.
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneu-
monia, catarrh, consumption or any OF
the family of throat and nose and head
and lung distractions, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them
that is to take Boschee's German
Syrup, which any druggist will sell
you at rs cents q bottle. Even il
everything else has failed you, you
may depend upon this for certain.

A New Compilation.

Sometime ago the city council came
to the conclusion that changes in the
charter, the repeal and passage OF
new ordinances, ETC., necessitated the
issuance of a new compilation of the
charter as amended, the most impor-
tant Of the ordinances now in force,
the rules and regulations OF the fire
department, ETC., properly arranged,
with side heads, and appropriate in
dex.
Auditor Jewett and city attorney
holland have been at work for several
weeks, codifying and arranging the
matter for publication, and on the
conclusion OF their labors, the COM
mittee on rules and regulations in
vited bids for the printing OF the
work, the idea being to have it done
at home.
The specifications called for bids
on a certain number of copies print
ed in the same style, size OF type,
size Of page, quality OF paper, ETC., as
the Portland city charter and Ordi-
nances, edition OF 1884, which is very
handsomely gotten up, being printed
on an excellent quality of book paper,
and bound in cloth with leather
backs and corners.
Yesterday afternoon the committee
met and opened the bids and
awarded the contract to Snyder
Bros, their bid being the lowest. The
bid as accepted is to furnish 300 cop
les at S1.10 page, and So per hun
dred additional for binding. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be about 80
pages in the book, which, with the
binding, would make the total cost of
the job TO the city about S215.

A Good Story OF Tom Marshal.

The Riddleberger episode reminds
me OF a case in which old "Tom''
Marshall was supposed to have in-
suited the dignity OF the court, and
he was fined $50. Tom, on hearing
this rather added to the insult, and
was fined another $50. Tom was
equal to the occasion. Leaning to-
ward the bench he said: Judge,
lend me a hundred dollars" Upon
this the court exclaimed: "Mr. Sher-
iff, remit the entire fine. The state is
better able to lose a hundred dollars
than / am."-Highland Journal.
